Excerpt: Copyright © 2018 Ruled by Anne Marsh
I have to be more cautious. From the rising volume of the squeals emanating from the backyard, cake consumption has concluded and the party will be wrapping up as the sugar highs hit, the early departers fleeing past my RV parked out front. Spotting the princess in an R-rated embrace with a biker would be bad for my business. You can’t be a dirty girl and host children’s birthday parties for a living. The moms will kill you. Fortunately, the moms aren’t mind readers. I’m only a party-perfect princess on the outside. Riding anywhere with Rev would be career suicide.
My bad voice promptly weighs in. But only if you get caught.
“I don’t do bikers.”
Something flashes across Rev’s face. “You don’t get hurt on my watch. I promise.”
“You’re not an ax murderer?”
He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the wallet attached to his belt by a silver chain. Silently, he flips it open and holds it out so I can read his driver’s license. There’s a military ID underneath it, too, the kind of card that gets you into Nellis Air Force Base.
“Your name isn’t Rev.” According to the State of Nevada’s laminated plastic, he’s one Jaxon Brady.
“Road name,” he says tersely.
I examine the license again. He’s also turning thirty-three in four weeks. I bet he won’t be booking a celebratory princess party.
“Wow.” I hand back his wallet. “Former navy?”
He nods, as if it’s no big deal. “SEAL. You’d be safe with me.”
He’s not big on talking. Or negotiating, asking, or sweet-talking. I’ve always trusted my instincts, though, and right now they’re on board with Rev Brady. Completely, totally, 100 percent in favor of getting on this man’s bike and riding off with him. Somewhere. Wherever he wants to go. He’s big and strong and tempting. He’s fought for our country and kept everyone safe.
How bad can he be?
The little voice in my head pipes right up. How bad do you want him to be?
That voice needs a gag.
“Think about it,” he says and then he turns and saunters toward his bike. I stand there, watching his ass the whole way, and wondering why I don’t mind his attitude. He’s scary as shit. He’s not Mr. White Picket Fence and he’s not promising happily ever after, but the man has a fantastic butt and I’m lonely. That’s all it is. I need to get out more, need to make a point of seeing someone.
Someone else.
Anyone else. There are absolutely, positively no bikers anywhere in my future.
New York Times bestselling author Anne Marsh writes sexy contemporary and paranormal romances because the world can always enjoy one more alpha male. She started writing romance after getting laid off from her job as a technical writer—and quickly decided happily-ever-afters trumped software manuals. She lives in Northern California with her family and six cats.
After growing up with a father that dedicated his life to a motorcycle gang, Evie Kent is all to familiar with what that kind of life it brings, and means for anyone involved, and she wants no part of it. She spent years caring for her younger brother because her father was always too busy stirring up trouble with the gang, and she tried hard to show him that a life in the gang isn't something he should want for himself, but unfortunately the life found him, and has now gotten him into trouble. And now his troubles have made their way to her front door, in the form of a sexy biker from a rival gang, who is wanting to provide her protection. As much as she hates the life, she can't seem to ignore the instant connection they have, and before long that connection spawns into a full blown affair... and her plan to stay away from motorcycle gang members goes to the wayside.
Ruled is an erotic little page turner that is sure to captivate romance readers attention, and inspire many dirty little thoughts. With it's action packed story line, toe curling kinky moments, and a few delicate moments too, it's a can't miss read. I really enjoyed reading Evie and Jaxon's story, their chemistry was electric, at times you could literally feel the sparks of sexual tension between them leap off the pages! Highly recommend this one, it's an unputdownable tale that is sure to satisfy!
